The need for medication can depend on the specific situation. Some dogs may need to be on medication long-term, while others may only need it initially. With consistent training and monitoring, some dogs may eventually be weaned off the medication, provided the condition doesn't worsen.

Behavior modification is teaching a dog to exhibit a different behavior. Instead of simply punishing a dog for undesirable behavior, we show them what we expect from them and guide them towards preferable behavior.

The next steps include enrolling your dog in a good training program, ideally with a trainer who can work with you at home. You may also need to start your dog on medication prescribed by your veterinarian to make the training more effective.

You should ask your veterinarian about the potential cause of your dog's behavior, what type of training might be beneficial if there are any medications that can help, and what you can do at home to improve the situation.

Your veterinarian will want to know the specifics of your dog's behavior, such as when it occurs, what triggers it, if anything alleviates it, when it started, how long it has been happening, and if it is getting worse over time.

It can be challenging to differentiate between a behavioral and a medical problem. In either case, your dog should be seen by its veterinarian, who can use their diagnostic skills and knowledge to help you identify the issue and treat it accordingly.

You should seek professional help as soon as you notice something is off or different with your dog. Catching behavioral problems early and being proactive can help ensure a good outcome.

Yes, it is safe to groom your cat. This can include brushing them, trimming their nails, and gently cleaning their ears. Be careful if you need to remove a mat from your cat's fur; clippers are safest. Scissors can be dangerous as they can potentially cut the cat's skin.
